No officer, it's "hi, how are you?"

To which the answer is: “As high as a kite.. No, wait. Higher. A GPS satellite? No. Even higher. Voyager 1 should be about right.”

Yep, checks out 👍

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Goddamnit I even did the voice on my head as I read your post. Well done

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago

The outside is the knee. The inside in the eenk.

And the bit on your arm opposite of the elbow is the woble.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

The loose bit of skin on the outside of the elbow is called the weenus

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Hey, Simpson. Your weenus is showing!

I did not know that. Thank you

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

Look at me. No, look at me. I need you to know that it's a joke. I spelled the words backwards.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

In my defense when I left that comment I was out, didn't sleep last night and am high as frick. I'm tired lol

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Lol, no worries. I just didn't want to be that guy who put incorrect data in someone's head forever.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Congratulations, you're an gullible idiot!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I really really am lol

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago

Why, the kneepit of course!

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

We don't call it the elbowpit, so this must be the legpit.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

No. Leg pit is the taint. The elbow has two sides.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hey! This is a family friendly establishment!

Please use the polite term: grundle

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I actually do call it the elbowpit

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Indeed. Careless use of the word we, there.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Armpit is where your arm attaches to your torso.

Behind your elbow is a different pit

You mean the knee?

Don't feel too bad. One time I had a brain fart and couldn't remember the word "microwave" and called it the "nukeamajig." I still do, but on purpose now.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

I would say "inside of the knee," if I'm reading the context right.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Wouldn't the legpit be the pocket created at your hip when your leg is folded against your body?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Do you mean the popliteal?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

It's called "popliteal" in English, sometimes but uncommonly shortened to "poplit".

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

There is also "hock", but that is mostly used in relation to horses.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

bottom hinge

This is what my uncle would call a "real knee-slapper"

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

what, your grunch?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Did we ever get an answer to this?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Those orange and brown stripes remind me this Minecraft cat. Such a beautiful color.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Nope, that's an orange/red tabby while op's is a calico, which is also present in Minecraft. Fun fact: except in rare exceptions all red tabbies are males and all calicos are female.

Note: these aren't breeds, but names for the coat coloring.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Your fun fact is only partially correct. Calicos and torties are almost always female because the black/brown/grey(dilute) and red/orange colors are both located on the X chromosome, so in order to have both colors, they have to have 2 X chromosomes. Male calicos & torties have some genetic abnormality such as XXY or are a chimera. Red/orange females are much less common than red/orange males, but not all that rare, because they have 2 X chromosomes and therefore have to have 2 copies of the red/orange gene to be solid red/orange, while males only have 1 X chromosome, so they only need 1 copy of the red/orange gene to be red/orange.

Another fun fact: All domestic cats with red coats are tabbies. Through selective breeding, some reds exist with a coat that appears solid, but they're still tabbies with the agouti gene, just very low contrasting in the striping.

So, is this the right one? At least the colors match, but it doesn’t have any stripes.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

That's the one.

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
